  • Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
    Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

  • Chemicals (29 June)
    29 June 2015 Asia Pacific/Japan Equity Research Major Chemicals (Chemicals/Textiles (Japan)) / MARKET WEIGHT Chemicals Research Analysts COMPANY UPDATE Masami Sawato 81 3 4550 9729 [email protected] Corporate Day: Kuraray, Asahi Kasei, Tosoh, Shin-Etsu Chemical, JSR, Zeon, Ube Industries, Hitachi Chemical, Nippon Kayaku ■ Kuraray (3405, NEUTRAL TP ¥1,650): We forecast 1H FY3/16 OP of ¥29.5bn, beating guidance (¥29.0bn) by ¥0.5bn (the Quick consensus is ¥30.4bn). The company indicated that areas such as Poval products, including optical-use Poval film, isoprene, and methyl methacrylate have been outperforming, while glass laminating solutions (vinyl acetate-related) have been falling short of guidance. Based on firm 1Q shipments, the company expects shipment volume of optical-use Poval film to increase by around 7% YoY for the full year. We think Kuraray will likely leave full-year guidance unchanged. The company indicated that the impact of coated polarizing film among optical-use Poval film will be modest in the near term. ■ Asahi Kasei (3407, NEUTRAL, TP ¥1,200): We forecast 1Q OP of ¥32.0bn, equivalent to 45.4% of 1H guidance (¥70.5bn; Nikkei 1Q forecast ¥32.0bn; Quick consensus ¥32.1bn). The company indicated that profits have been tracking above guidance considering factors including that housing profits are concentrated in 2Q. At the chemicals segment, the company expects higher styrene monomer (SM) margins and functional resin outperformance to offset acrylonitrile (AN) margins, which have been tracking below its assumptions. We understand fibers, electronics, and pharmaceuticals & healthcare have also been firm. Housing orders are firm, but it expects a YoY decline in earnings due mainly to increases in materials and construction costs.
